- option to create lists / groupes of books, and possibly even re-organise the files themselves accordingly (like : all of Dorothy L. Sayers together, regardless of format. or, all mobi format together in one directory).
- possibility to add tags / comments of your own (like : to read, read, first of series, etc.)
- possibility to add books manually to create a "wish-list" of books you don't have, with meta-date (isbn) completed automatically perhaps, and tags and comments ("recommended by...")
...for starters.  if that's possible, of course !!!

Calibre does most of this. However it doesn't support/read ALL formats meta data. Perhaps rather than writing a whole new app you could work with Kovid. He does accept patches. I think someone right now is trying to add IMP support to it. Also, Kovid has mentioned setting up the ablity to add format/conversion support by pointing to external programs... so for example all the mobiperl scripts could be supported.
